Why does it seem like my Lock Screen only works half the time? Not on trusted network

It seems like half the time when I unlock my phone (not using fingerprint), the lock screen won't be there. Is it based on a time-out feature? I'd like to have it there 100% of the time.

The phone isn't connected to any trusted networks or whatever HTC/android calls it that disables the lock screen.
